Sleek Rose Gold Blush

Ok, so first things first, I'm going to apologize as I didn't take photos of this product before I started using it. I popped it in my makeup bag then a couple of days later remembered that I hadn't taken any snaps! Due to it being a rather innexpensive product, the packaging hasn't resisted very well (as you'll see in the third photo down!). Not that this is a major problem, I just personally think it's nicer when product reviews feature photos of when the item is freshly bought!

If you are aware of products that are a major hit in the blogging world, you'll know that I'm jumping on the bandwagon a tad late with this one. Sleek's Rose Gold blush is something that has been reviewed numerous times resulting in great feedback. This product has got a name for itself being thought of as a perfect dupe for the well known Nars Orgasm blusher. To put it simply, I agree. Not only that but it is also a hell of a lot cheaper. Not that I believe cheaper makeup is better/just as good as expensive makeup, but in some cases there really are some brilliant little gems, and this is one of them.

Retailed at £4.49, it really is a bargain. It's fairly hard to pick up in Superdrug, I had to look in a handfull of different stores until I actually came across it. However you can purchase it online, here.

The colours absolutely stunning, it has just the right amount of shimmer which is a great thing for me as I'm personally not too fond of face products with glitter in. It's very buildable too which is great dependant on how obvious you're wanting it to look.

Another thing that is very important in a blush is longevity, and this product ticks the box. I've applied it early on a morning, and upon return later in the day it's exactly how it was when first applied. There's no sliding around your face involved either!

Have you tried any of Sleeks products? I've heard quite good things about the eyeshadows so if you've had experience with them let me know!

it does look amazing! i've really wanted to try it for ages but can't find it in my local superdrug, which is a pain! i've just started following your blog, i love it! hope you're well laura xxhttp://ilikecrayonsxo.blogspot.co.uk/

I feel really stupid now because I've never heard of it ;p Well I guess I'll be the last to jump on the bandwagon. I'm really trying to save up for christmas and I need cheaper alternatives to my usual make up, so I'll check this out. ♥

This looks like a pretty colour. I love sleek - their make up is so pigmented!! I've never tried their eye shadows properly - but I've swatched them and they seemed really good. Lovely blog by the way! xx
